Rapidshare.de, beloved for its content and hated for its timelimit. Hacks how to circumvent the time limit have been discovered and been put to rest by updates to its scripts. There is nevertheless a constant strife for additional hacks that remove the time limit and let you download without the waiting time.
A new trick was posted at the computerhelpforum.org today. Its fast and easy, all you need to do is follow this three steps:
- 1. Visit the page of the file that you want to download.
- 2. Click on free.
- 3. Enter the following line of code into your address bar and remove everything else
- javascript:alert(c=1)
Hit enter. A popup showing 1 should appear. click ok, the window disappears and you have to enter some letters and click start download.
Check out this Rapidshare hack for additional ways of defeating the Rapidshare timelimit.
Update: The file hosting website Rapidshare has changed the way it operates recently, which has significant consequences for free users who download files from the website. The biggest change is that the JavaScript trick is no longer working. More pressing than that is the limitation of the file download speed for free Rapidshare users.
There is no way around waiting for downloads anymore on Rapidshare. Probably the best solution, other than creating an account, is to use a program like JDownloader. While it won’t speed up the downloads, or get you past the download time limit, it allows you to queue the downloads in the interface, which makes the whole operation more comfortable.
The only option around the Rapidshare wait time is a premium account, which comes at a cost. One interesting option for free users is the Captcha Trader software, which can be used to resolve captcha files automatically, which means that it is possible to run the download software in the background all the time, without having to wait until the next download captcha comes up.

If you have a modem with phone connection, turn it off and on again. You get a new ip every time.
If you have a cable modem there is a hack I use, you can read about it here: http://hacksforu.blogspot.com/2007/10/change-static-ip.html
This is not the renew, release ip (that doesn’t work by the way.)

Hi! Something happened with my rapidshare downloads. I always get the error message that JavaScript is not enabled, although it is. I tried both with Mozilla and Explorer. The problem appeared today, before it all worked well. Can this have something to do with firewall settings? I’m getting desperate. Please help! Thanks, Anikó

Hi all
I used to have a rapidshare premium account until I lost my job due to down-sizing/retrenchments of the company I worked for after they were taken over by a large corporation.
I now use the FREE rapidshare download but it is really getting me down.
I don’t mind TOO MUCH that one has to wait between d/l – I can understand that this is how they want to get one to purchase a premium account.
However, what irritates the hell out of me is that, I select the free option on the main screen, wait for 1.8 to 2.2. minutes to obtain a d/l ticket, enter the CORRECT code (captcha), and then RS says I entered an incorrect code and must try again. I retry and get the same message over and over again.
It has reached the stage where I am lucky to get even ONE succesful d/l per day.
Have tried Universal Share Downloader, Orbit and Cryptload but get the same results even with them.
Did [b][u]not[/u][/b] try Onspeed as I do not know where to get it – [b]perhaps someone can provide me with a link[/b].
By the way, I forgot to mention that after I select the “free” option and it then goes to the second page, an error mesagge flashes for a second or two saying “Please enable javascript”. Then it disappears and is replaced with the timer that starts to count down.
I downloaded and installed the latest Java, but it has made no difference.
Need your help to solve this problem. Perhaps there is a setting on my pc that needs adjustment – anyone have any ideas regarding this???
Waiting in anticpation for someone who can help me solve this.
Thanks.
Hi ddk1979,
Close down all your programs. Open IE, then then clear all your cookies in internet options. Turn off your computer completely at the wall, including the modem and wall socket. Leave for about ten seconds. Turn your modem on, and about 30 seconds, when your modem kicks back on line, turn on your computer. When everything has been booted up, simpley go into rapidshare.
You should get right in. Rapidshare’s system works on a IP address system. When you switch off your modem at the wall, your old IP address is deleted, once you delete you cookies.
Go for it, let me know, and let’s screw those selfish pigs.
Thanks for the reply “may capitolism burn in hell”
I probably forgot to say that I do that as well. I clean out ALL cookies, history, recent docs, and also do a search for any file starting with “rapid*” and delete everything.
Then I run FOUR utility programs (Tuneup 2008, System Tools, XP Repair Pro and the latest CCleaner) and after that completely shutdown EVERYTHING by unplugging from the wall for at least 3-5 minutes. Then I reboot pc and modem, but keep getting the same error message.
BTW, I also clean out the registry with above programs.
I also posted this request on another site and someone stated “You need to ensure, which ever web browser you are using, you are allowing both Java and Javascript for Rapidshare and all Rapidshare IP names/addresses it is using”.
I use Windows XP SP2 and IE7 (have tried Firefox but it does not work well for ME).
Perhaps someone can tell me step by step (I have extremely little pc knowledge) how to set Java and Javascript as mentioned above.
Thanks

but you could just reinstall xp and see if it works by not paying attention
her is a easy way just go to rapidshare and
her it is… go premium
Very nice trick. I created a bookmark in my Firefox called “RapidHack” and put it on the toolbar, then made the link “javascript:alert(c=1)” so that I can just click that when downloading from RapidShare and voila! No need to wait :)
Doesn’t work the counter does go down to one sec but straight after you get a javascript no enabled error….
Pillipenes sucks dick and eats cock meat sandwich
They’re not that stupid. there’s a counter running on the server side as well. If you rush your client-side timer you’ll still have to wait for the server-side timer or you’ll get an error message.
duh.
BTW, you can type javascript:void(c=1) and avoid the alert message. Still, it’ll get you nowhere.
